But the reason 41 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: why I started the check in, even though I'm in 42 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: here talking to myself, is because I felt like in 43 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: the beginning when I started this podcast, almost the year 44 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: were literally you know, almost a year next month, March 45 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: twenty fourth, when we started this podcast, I had so 46 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: much happening so fast. It has been a crazy year. 47 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 1: But I think one of the things that I realized 48 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: that I didn't do enough of was just take a 49 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: second to sit down and checking on myself. 50 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 3: And I realized how. 51 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: Much that played into negatively positively, but also kind of 52 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: like ambiguously as well, where like some days I was 53 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,799 Speaker 1: just there, I wasn't my day wasn't good, my day 54 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,679 Speaker 1: wasn't bad. I was literally just getting through the day. 55 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: And how that played into like everything I do on 56 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 1: work and how I show up for people just in 57 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,519 Speaker 1: my real life too. So I was like, girl, you guys, 58 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: start checking in on yourself seriously. So I felt like 59 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: if I made it a part of the podcast and 60 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: how we opened the show, I would have to take 61 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: the second to do that. Yes, yes, So we're going 62 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,239 Speaker 1: to start with the behind the scenes of the grind checking. 63 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: So miss me, me brow else checking it behind the 64 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: scenes of the ground. 65 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 3: How are you feeling?

He does have, you know, some strict guidelines 525 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,120 Speaker 1: around his release. I know he'll be on these strict 526 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 1: guidelines for the next five years. Drug testing can be 527 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: a thing. He won't be able to open bank accounts, 528 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: l to reprove from the Feds, and even then it 529 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: still he'll still have to let probation offices know about 530 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: like taxes and any income. Of course, no alcohol or 531 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: drugs unless prescribed, which is why they you know, potentially 532 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: will be doing the testing, and if it's up to 533 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: a judge, he may be tested, you know, through a 534 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,919 Speaker 1: rehabilitation program which is set just for him, just to 535 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: make sure that he stays on track throughout this time 536 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: that he'll have to be involved in, you know, this 537 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: next level of like what monitoring from the government looks like. 538 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 3: And for those of you guys who made it, remember. 539 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: Fetti Wop was arrested some years back, and again he 540 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: completed a three year sentence out of six years. So 541 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 1: back in May of twenty twenty three, fetti Wap was 542 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: sentenced to six years, so he completed three and he 543 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,479 Speaker 1: is now home. But when he was first busted, he 544 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: was busted with over five hundred grams or more of 545 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: cocaine and thousands of dollars in cash. But I think 546 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: it's a big deal that the court decided to let 547 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 1: him go, you know, all these months early. I think 548 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: it speaks volumes to just what he's been able to 549 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: do rehabilitation wise for himself and what we saw that girl. Yeah, yes, 550 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: it was evident. I've never that's not true. I guess 551 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: I had before, but yeah, sitting with him, I was 552 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: like Okay, I'm I truly believe he's going to use 553 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: his second chance that God has given him to make 554 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 1: the most out of his situation. 555 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 3: And he did. 556 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: That was so touching. It was because I think for 557 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: a lot of for a lot of people, when you are, 558 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: you know you have because he has fame. I don't 559 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: know how much money he may have left or not, 560 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, But he has fame, he 561 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: has a notoriety. 562 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 3: There's still platform. 563 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: There could still be such an entitlement to what he 564 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: thinks he should have because of who he was before 565 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: he was thrown behind bars. Everything about the person that 566 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: sat in that breakfast club room with us today was 567 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: stripped of all of that. There was no entitlement, There 568 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: was no There was a lot of accountability, and I 569 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: think that there. 570 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 3: Was a lot of God in that room.

But I 622 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: do know that we've been having some hiccups and we 623 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: were told that it was canceled by the Home Health Agency. 624 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: And I went to Memi and I'm like, yo, where 625 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: did Trump leave off?

I thought we were okay. 627 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 4: So yes, we talked about this a little bit, you know, 628 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 4: and I think it's it's and we said when you 629 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 4: told me this, Lauren, I was like, you know, we 630 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 4: always talk about twenty million people who you know, may 631 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 4: no longer have health insurance, who may be kicked off 632 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 4: their health insurance. 633 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 2: But you put a name to. 634 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 4: The face literally yesterday, right, You put a situation to 635 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 4: the face. And I think what's happening is people are 636 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 4: finding out in real time that as of December thirty first, 637 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 4: twenty twenty five, that they either no longer have health insurance, 638 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 4: they can no longer afford their health insurance, or some 639 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 4: of the services and benefits that they had with their 640 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 4: health insurance are no longer viable. They will no longer 641 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 4: apply to their account anymore. And that is just because 642 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 4: the Obamacare subsidies that would keep things low so that 643 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 4: people can afford to have those health insurance. 644 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 2: Health have that health insurance they expired. 645 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 4: And Republicans who are in charge of the House, who 646 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 4: are in charge of the Senate, they have not put 647 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 4: together a healthcare plan for the American people. 648 00:29:58,440 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 3: And so right now. 649 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 4: I've of, you know, the first second, going into the 650 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 4: second week of January, there are millions of people who 651 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 4: will no longer have health insurance. And you know it, 652 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 4: it is It is a thing that I think that 653 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 4: most people don't think about, right because we again, some 654 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 4: of the things that are happening in the world are 655 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 4: things that we've never really had to deal with. 656 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 2: Right those are just afterthoughts. 657 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 4: You know that you know, you can get affordable health 658 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 4: insurance some kind of way, but right now it is 659 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 4: really hard. We've never been in this situation, and so 660 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 4: I think, you know what people need to do is 661 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 4: call their insurance plans, check on your premiums, you know. 662 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 4: And this is not just going to affect people who 663 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 4: have Medicare or Medicaid. This is going to affect employee 664 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 4: led insurance programs. So even if the corporate insurance, even 665 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 4: your it's going to go up because it's all it's 666 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 4: all pay more for us though, you're going to have 667 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 4: to pay more because if if, if they kick off 668 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 4: you know, Medicaid, Medicare, Medicaid or ACA programs, that's going 669 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 4: to affect, you know, insurance premiums. 670 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 2: Insurance companies are still going to have to get paid. 671 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 2: That's going to affect the people who have insurance through 672 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 2: their job. 673 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 4: You know, It's always going to be a domino effect, 674 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 4: and so well a lot of people think it's not 675 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 4: gonna affect you because oh, I, you know, I have 676 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 4: it through my job. It definitely will affect you. Your 677 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 4: your services that you usually get, make up out of 678 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 4: pocket expenses maybe more. I just think before you go 679 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 4: to the doctor, before you schedule your checkup, before anything 680 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 4: this year in twenty twenty six, you just need to 681 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 4: call and make sure you still have the same coverage 682 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 4: that you thought you had as a blast here, you know, 683 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,200 Speaker 4: because Trump didn't back off of it, and he has 684 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 4: no plan for the future going forward. I will say 685 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 4: this today's Friday, So as of Thursday yesterday, the House Republicans. 686 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 3: January fifth, January I'm sorry very eighth. 687 00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 2: January eighth eighth, whooh. 688 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 3: I said fifth? There always three days later January eighth, Wash. 689 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 4: Yesterday they had a healthcare vote in the House. I 690 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 4: think it was about seventeen Republicans voted with Democrats to 691 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 4: to reinstate those Obamacare subsidies that would push back those prices. 692 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 4: But it now heads to the Senate, which it is 693 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 4: expected to have a tough time. So the way the 694 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 4: process works, the House will vote on it, the Senate 695 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 4: will vote on it, and then the President will sign 696 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 4: it into law. I don't know if the Senate it's 697 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 4: going to pass the Senate because you know, they have 698 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 4: their own things that they want to add to it 699 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 4: that may not go overwell. You know, they want abortion, 700 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 4: stricter abortion laws, just things that really. 701 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 2: Don't affect every day people. 702 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,760 Speaker 4: I just, you know, we should care about our fellow human, 703 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 4: that's all. And we should just care that people really 704 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 4: need to get their cancer screens, where people really need 705 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 4: to take their baby to the hospital or whatever that 706 00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 4: may look like. But right now it's not looking great. 707 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. 708 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: I just wanted you to the conversation we had yesterday, 709 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: which is insane because before all of this, like a 710 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: few months ago, my mom's insurance called and were like, hey, 711 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: because everything that's happening with the new administration.
